Magazine editors, fashionistas and bloggers have all hopped onto this fall trend. It is the best way to brighten up your outfit on a dreary day. Pair them with riding boots or flats and a chunky sweater. Comfort is also crucial. The last thing you want is to be self conscious in a trend that you are not necessarily used to. When in doubt start with darker shades and build your confidence into the brighter pairs. Eggplant would be the perfect hue for anyone who dares to start breaking the blue jean matrix. This is not to say to get rid of your blues that you have counted on for the past fashionable years of your life. If I could wear jeans everyday, I would. They are classic, can be dressed up or down and have stood against the test of time. All I am saying is dare to be diverse. No one will ostracize you, and if they do we can rock our bright skinnies on the same day in order to avoid complete isolation.
